Yacht Description
Fast days, short hops. RIVIERA is a 24m (79ft) Alalunga flybridge motor yacht built in 2009 and refit in 2021, set up to sleep 9 guests in 4 cabins. She cruises at 28 knots and will run up to 35 when the plan is “let’s do that bay too.”
Flybridge does the work. The flybridge is the main magnet: a big sunpad, wetbar, BBQ, dinette, and a second helm station so guests can hang out up top without losing the action. Simple. Effective.
Easy water time. Comfortable access to the sea from the swimming platform makes swim stops and watersports less of a production and more of a habit. There is also a 4.4m tender, plus adult waterskis, towable inflatables, a SUP, and snorkelling gear.
Cabins with logic. Four en-suite cabins cover mixed groups neatly: a full-beam master, a full-beam VIP, and two twins, with one twin adding a Pullman for the ninth guest. TVs in all cabins, air conditioning, and an indoor audio system keep downtime easy.

Charter Reviews
It was an amazing, unforgettable experience for us chartering to Barcelona to follow in real time the America’s Cup aboard Riviera.
The Crew was really remarkable: a real winning charter Crew!
Captain Antonino,
I can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful trip for my family and me. This has been a lifelong dream for me to sail the Amalfi Coast and you helped to make that happen! You made this trip very special with all that you know about this happen!
You made this trip very special with all that you know about this part of Italy and your beautiful way of knowing our wishes an desires and the doing your best to make them come true.
Thank you for a beautiful, unforgettable experience.
Hopefully our paths will cross again!
With gratitude,
Kathy and the G. Family
Now we're back from a wonderful trip in the Naples area.
Everything worked fine, especially our fantastic crew.
Salvatore is one of the best Italian cooks we met up to date. Rita was very supportive and fulfilled all of our wishes.
Also our Skipper showed us all the beautiful places in the gulf of Naples including Capri, Amalfi and so on and was very careful regarding weather conditions :)
Our vacation was really a dream and we will do it again as soon as possible.
Thank you and kind regards
N.Z.
But above all: your fabulous crew- for safety, sail and supple.
Salvatore always paying attention, Rita always helpful and smiling and Salvatore! His meals were the best, we will miss all of them.
We wish you a wonderful trip to the South we hope to come back same boat, same crew.
All the best

I am pleased to say that we have had an incredible holiday. Riviera was just what we were looking for and the crew could not have been nicer or more attentive with us and our guests. They were always making sure our holiday was wonderful. Antonino is a great captain, responsible and always making sure we had a good time. Salvatore the best chef we could have found and Teresa always looking after us. It has been just an incredible holiday!
So, thank you very much for a job well done!
Mr. S.
Dear All,
We had a fabulous week on the Riviera. The crew was simply the very best and made each day better than the next. I could not recommend it higher for anyone else planning a similar trip. Perhaps one day we will come back for more.
Best Regards
Glen B.
I have to thank you so very much. My friends and I are in awe.
I forgot to mention the food!!! It is out of this world. We want Salvatore #2 to write a cookbook. We have never eaten so well. Grazie!!

Experience of the boat was beyond expectations and overall fabulous experience. We definitely will be rebooking the Riviera.
Thank you again

We went on a cruise to Sicily at the end of September 2012. It was really very nice. We embarked in Palermo and then we visited the Aeolian islands. We have never seen a place like this!
Beautiful, especially the fantastic colors of the sea: turquoise, green, blue. The fishermen brought us fresh fish on board every day, and the very friendly and capable chef cooked them for us in all kinds of different ways. The breakfast was very nice especially the fresh Sicilian orange juice. The boat was very comfortable, spacious and well designed. We had 2 days of bad weather and the skipper, who was very good and kind, brought us in the tender to some small bays with crystal clear water and white sandy beaches. We have some great swims and incredible snorkeling.
Congratulations to all the staff who with their kindness and professionalism gave us an unforgettable week.
N.P.
Regards,
Peter
The stay aboard Riviera was fantastic. We really enjoyed the yacht, the itinerary, the Captain's professionalism, Maria's kindness and the delicious creations of Salvatore, an extraordinary chef, who pampered us for weeks on an unparalleled culinary journey. Thanks to the Captain's suggestions during the cruise, we enjoyed the stay, savoring all the pleasure and the freedom to go to sea.
We are eager to come back!
Mr. F.
